MARQUELIA, Mexico (Reuters) -The remnants of Hurricane John soaked a large swath of southwestern Mexico on Tuesday as its trek inland slowed and clean up work got underway, but the once powerful storm still threatened severe flooding and caused at least three deaths.
Stretching across several Mexican states, the storm uprooted trees and electrical posts and ripped off roofs as it made landfall on Monday night and into the early hours of Tuesday, officials told reporters at a briefing.
